Compact housing and high power LED for excellent performance-size ratio. The potentiometer used for adjustment of the sensitivity makes the sensors highly flexible. The sensors are useful in applications where highaccuracy detection as well as small size is required. The output type is NPN or PNP and the output switcing function is NO and NC. **Orderin Ke g y PA18CAB20NAM1SA** **Type Housing style Housing size Housing material Housing length Detection principle Sensing distance Output type Output configuration Connection type Sensitivity adjustment** ## **T e Selection yp** |**Housing style**|**Range**|**Connection**| |---|---|---| ||**Sn**|| |M18 Axial type|200 mm|Cable| |M18 Axial type|200 mm|Plug| **Ordering no.

The sensor is exposed to high pressure water from a spray nozzle that is fed with 80°C water at 8’000– 60° 10’000 KPa (80–100bar) and a flow rate of 14–6L/min. The nozzle is held 100 –150 mm from the sensor at angles of 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° for 30s each. The test device sits on a turntable that rotates with a speed of 5 30° times per minute. The sensor must not suffer any damaging effects from the high pressure water in appearance and function. if ifs Zz (< 0° ## **O eration Dia ram p g** **==> picture [330 x 80] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
